Chumbawamba- English Rebel Songs 1381-1984 (2003)




An album of folk songs by an anarcho punk group. Minimal accompaniment or acapella singing. Very pleasing it is too. The songs range from the time of the Peasants Revolt up to the Miners Strike of 1984 (I'm sure you've worked that out from the title...).
I'm not going to write about the songs- there's a wiki page about the album and the details are on there.
Anyone who cares to indulge in a bit of pedantry can delight in the inclusion of a Welsh and an Irish song...
